Release Information

Statement introduced in JUNOS Release 9.2.

Description

Configure a limit to the number of prefixes that can be accepted on a BGP peering session. When that limit is exceeded, a system log message is sent. You can optionally specify to reset the BGP session when the number of accepted prefixes exceeds the specified limit.

Options

maximum number—Limit the number of prefixes that can be accepted on a BGP peering session. A system log message is sent when that number is exceeded.
teardown <percentage>—Specify to reset the BGP peering session when the specified limit to the number of prefixes that can be accepted is exceeded. If you specify a percentage, a system log message is sent when the accepted number of prefixes on the BGP session exceeds the specified percentage of the configured limit. After a BGP session is reset, it is reestablished within a short time unless you include the idle-timeout statement.
idle-timeout (minutes | forever)—Specify not to reestablish a BGP session that has been reset until the after the specified timeout period. Include the forever option to prevent the BGP session from being reestablished until you issue the clear bgp neighbor command.

Usage Guidelines

See Limiting the Number of Prefixes Accepted on a BGP Peering Session.
